    Imagine genuinely thinking that Russia blows up their own infrastructure for no reason. The fact that this is a serious topic of discussion in the west shows that any sort of critical thinking has been eradicated at this point.

        It’s literally territory they’ve annexed from Ukraine. And anybody who actually paid attention for the past month can see that Ukraine is in no position to take any territory back based on how their offensive is going.

          No position to take any territory back? How about the 300km^2 they took back already this summer?

            Oh you mean the territory Russia didn’t actually contest because they haven’t mobilized yet. Amazing counterpoint you’ve got there. 🤡

              They have mobilized 300,000 troops last year. It’s news to Russia that they didn’t contest it, since they fought for and lost Pyatyhatky, just now fighting for and losing Zherebyanky.

              There are intense battles in Orikhiv area, but that could go either way. If Russia loses anything “they are not even trying”?

                  Why should I believe those people? Who made them experts?

                  Watch the actual developments on the ground, don’t listen to propaganda. Russian telegram channels tell you how the war is going, don’t need a guy to pretend to know the future

                    Why should anybody believe people who have been studying geopolitics all their lives is the question you’re asking?

                    Unlike you guzzling propaganda out of a firehose, I am watching the actual developments on the ground. The developments are that Ukraine failed to reach even the first line of Russian defence after a month long offensive while suffering horrific losses. Those are the facts of the situation. The fact that you don’t understand this says volumes.

      But… Zaporizhzhia is currently in the status of “temporarily occupied”. It’s on Ukraine’s territory. Since we have to suspend belief because all data we’re getting is propaganda, the possibility that it’s going to be liberated cannot be ruled out just like that.

      It would seem to me that Ukraine (i.e. the country where the power plant resides in) stands to lose much more from a nuclear disaster inside their own borders. That they would do that just to get NATO into the conflict more seems more like a conspiracy theory.

        Sure more than Ukraine who’ve been throwing theirs into minefields. If they didn’t value their soldiers they’d be doing what Ukraine is currently doing. Instead, they spent the time building defences and training their troops.
